Most of the first CD's in the 80's were made straight from the masters engineered for Vinyl and Casette media. They sounded awful with absurdly excessive EQ in the 3-6KHz range. Non-technical people commented that they preferred

Strict URPF cannot be applied to any customer that might be multihomed, which rules out any BGP customer or peer. The reason is that multi-homed networks are not required to, and often do not advertise the same routes to all of their BGP pe
